Mega Star Chiranjeevi might be the Undisputed King of Tollywood. But he did not reach the place easily. He went through many ups and downs. His hard work and dedication paid off and he reached the top position in the industry. Without any background, he attained Megastar status.
He tasted back-to-back hits in the industry and at one point of time, his films collected more than that of Bollywood Superstar Amitabh Bachchan’s films. A popular entertainment magazine called Chiranjeevi was bigger than Amitabh Bachchan and had his picture on the cover page. That’s the range of Chiranjeevi.
Chiranjeevi did not have a cakewalk in the process. He too faced some humiliations. He shared one such incident where he felt very bad and did not go to Pondy Bazaar for one year. It is known that Chiranjeevi graced the first episode of Nijam with Smita hosted by Singer. During the show, Chiranjeevi shared some unknown incidents.
Recalling an incident, Chiranjeevi said that during his early days in the industry, he went to Pondy Bazaar and a person made fun of him asking if he really wanted to enter films. Chiranjeevi said that the person compared him to another person and asked if he is more handsome than the other person and that making it big in films without any contacts is next to impossible.
He said that the comments hurt him and he did not share the sadness with anyone. Recalling this, Chiranjeevi said that he used to have faith in him and he kept going no matter what problems he faced.
Chiranjeevi also faced an interesting question about his younger brother Pawan Kalyan. He said that he likes Pawan as a politician as his nature makes him a good leader and he would become a leader some or the other day.
Talking about Pawan Kalyan’s nature, Chiranjeevi said that Pawan always had a special nature and he stands first in helping others. Chiranjeevi also added that he has a fascination for guns and he used to ask him to buy guns when he went abroad. “I was once worried if he’d turn a naxal at some point. He also had a fascination for guns, asked me to buy them when I went abroad,” he said.
